A Windermere teenager who stretched out over a Major League stadium seat to snag a milestone home-run ball has turned the catch into a win for both himself and an Orlando charity.

"I wanted to do something that will help people rather than spend it all on myself," Michael Schultes, 16, said Monday, a day after he handed a check for $2,500 to the nonprofit Community Food & Outreach Center.

The money was part of the $25,000 the West Orange High School junior made after selling a baseball he caught in the stands at a 2011 game between the Detroit Tigers and the Oakland Athletics. It was the 500th home run hit by then-A's star Hideki Matsui as a pro.

Matsui continues to wait for MLB offers while working out in New York. If he does not get any offers, he could sign with an independent league team. Source: Sponichi 12/7/2012, Sponichi 12/7/2012
